Dimitri Karas out at Ares...

[TheGaut]

Seems pretty common in the "specialized aftermarket" space, not just guns, the louder, the flashier, the lousier with customers and quality...

..But for the record, always had good face to face service at the shop in Oceanside.

Sucks. . Liked the guy. Not sure why the new owner needed to make an announcement.

Who cares. Ares can die.

[Wes C Addle]

good riddance.

and with the glut of ARs, good luck to the "new" owner (though I have my doubts).

on a side note, i like how the email mentioned the "patience and generosity" of the new owner but makes no mention of the patience and generosity of all the people Ares/Dimitri screwed over the years.

another possibility is that Karras changed his name and he's up to his usual trickery.


scumbag

I can't remember the thread title. But just search for Ares I am sure you will find it.

I saved that picture to my Dropbox on June 14, 2014 so look for a thread created on that day or one or two before.

There's a lot more threads about their shenanigans specifically involving the business, with Dimitri's antics with the city and ATF being a separate matter. They even had a complete upper receiver pre-order a while back for what would have been a decent price... but they required an agreement to a policy stating that they wouldn't give refunds if they failed to deliver the product and only a 7 day warranty http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...1&postcount=12

Now to their credit, they(amazingly) seemed to have actually got some orders filled. But running a store with that kind of policy is still ridiculous.

[Trriemferent]

why is the CEO referring to himself in the third person or quoting himself in the email. seems odd
